Looks like it's time for a part time job to pay for more training.

I agree, great day guys. It was a gas spending time with you on the range and training in general. Awesome to put some faces (?) with names and get to know some a little. I am also looking forward to more training. So It was grrrreat and I really enjoyed it. Hopefully my knee will be better next time, so I can actually hit the dirt. To the folks at dinner I hadn't met yet, cool to meet you, Like minded people when I thought I was "different" in the way I thought about self defense and at the world in general. Oh and thanks to Tom N for the free G22 mags,.....(hee hee) see ya next time, and I hope it's soon. jack

Kirk, how did I miss you????

Glad everyone had fun.

Especially glad no one got shot.

I trust that the yellow boards didn't get shot, either

As always, happy to host stuff like this, it gives me the warm fuzzies.

Thanks for hosting us!! I think we all really enjoyed being there and were glad we were able to have the training in such a central location.

I am going to take my 72 hours and reflect on what Shay taught us. I keep thinking about new things he taught us. I will try to post after the adrenaline wears off.

If I can ask, what practice do you use to keep the weak hand out of the line of fire when doing this?

BTW- Congrats to all, sounds like everyone learned a lot and had a good time.

Left hand cupping the back of your head. bicep and forearm guarding the left side of your head (pressed tight) leaning into your attacker. With the gun canted downwards to aim at the "low line"

This does allow your hand to somewhat safely work on the highline (face area) while shooting. And reduces the risk of a miss going a long distance and accidentally killing an innocent bystander.

Glad to see everyone had such a great time. I really hate that I missed dinner. I feel safer knowing that there are 12 people in Indiana that are just a *bit* more proficient in using their firearms.

Did Shay toss his Glock over his shoulder?

No, not that I saw. :(

He did make us kick dirt on our pistols, though. So much for the shiny newness. /sniffle
